My fellow Hugo Army Member, use his claps up close more and his patty cake slap (standing MP) to poke! both are a pain in the ass to deal with. good patience though--my main problem is being way too savage with the big guy and not really game planning beyond "gigas this fool".

Yeah, my biggest thing is to throw a lot of random attacks out, it usually messes them up, and at least hides the repetition. That MP is a great move. I guess I just didn't use as much in these rounds. I like his weak punch too, super fast :)

His jumping clothesline spin is a great attack for coming in and doing a 360/720 grab. Huge reach, so you end up hitting jumpers pretty often with it too. You can time it so that it just misses, and the instant he touches ground, let the hugs go... You can also start this attack just a few frames before he lands, and still pull it off on touchdown...


For replays, is it possible to save the unsaved replays? I tried saving some of the match room fights too, but couldn't find the option :/ Does anyone know how?

Hugo's Strong/Fierce Palm Bombers also have deceptively fast recovery and are a great baiting tool.

dat frame advantage!

and finally did dudley's parry challenge. shit was a bitch. basically you have to start after his second crouch--right when he gets up--before the super.

b&b, baby (gotta add dat taunt after)! worse one, though not as useful, is this:

jump in HK, close MK>dash punch>SAII, wait a sec, then dash punch for the juggle.

Looks disgusting and it's demoralizing.

Hey guys, I've never really played 3rd Strike seriously or any fighting game for that matter, but a bunch of the people I play with are playing Third Strike. I bought it because I always loved the game in arcades even though I wasn't a huge fighting game fan(same thing with Virtua Fighter 2)

Any players or videos I should watch if I'm playing Oro?

Demoralizing is when I forget that taunts matter in 3rd strike and I let Q turn into a 9,999 HP monster for free basically :p.

I don't pick Q a lot, but I need to use this more often. I always go for the C&DB -> overhead dash punch -> jab dash punch. Even though that can be character specific and have no clue who those characters are.

I should probably switch to Kuroda's -> overhead dash punch -> EX dash punch move. It does a miniscule amount of extra damage, but its the only way to safely taunt with Q while still being on top of your opponent on their wakeup. And heck, what else are you going to use that meter for?

yeah, i don't do any of those--like you said, it's character specific and also, i can't seem to pull it off. ever. strictly c&db>ex dash punch>HK>taunt all over your face for me.

i think i will stick with the masked menace for a bit actually...

His insanely high damage super? :3

Well it isn't that easy to land (except after the command throw, but that causes damage scaling pretty hard). I like Super 1 better just to punish lazy sweeps and other punishable normals. Just more opportunities show up (though Super 2 is a good antiair).

Actually, what I really like to do is use (troll with) Super 3. Q builds up meter pretty fast. The second I have it, activate it and then never even try to use it. People keep trying to run away? Free taunts! Get in? Keep knocking them out of the air because they're too worried about getting hit. Did they stop trying to jump out? DANGER BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

I'm having the same issue. On the PS3 version the char select screen unlock is the arcade version, but on 360 it's something else.

is the first selection in the music vault not "Classic Theme Music: Character Select" on the 360?

It is, but unless I'm going crazy here, it's not the same song. I don't hear that countdown. It says "welcome to the world of street fighter 3" then plays something that's more like the select next opponent screen from arcade mode.

I was using Oro and used his power up special, whatever it is. The computer tried to kick me, I parried it and press fierce to use the super grab and win the round.

I felt pretty awesome.

It's the same song, it's just the entire song instead of the thirty second loop. They probably grabbed it from the soundtrack CD or something.

...but I want to use it in-game so I need the loop. :(

Also, the short version is on the CD as a separate track.

I'm not sure if they can be skipped but I know the ball parrying one is different.
